History in
a Pecan Shell
A Freedmen's Community
that developed from Farmers Branch,
Texas. Alpha's name is kept alive by the designation of Alpha
Road. The community's first store opened in 1895. The population was
given as 111 in 1904 but the last figures come from 1933 when it declined
to a mere fifty residents.
In 1987, its last year as a listed community, it was still using 50
as the population. |
